Tonight’s training is an exclamation training for me.
Why?
Because I heard the right word to pull the trigger in me and, like Cupid’s heart, the adrenaline rush ran inside of me. That made me start again.
Not exactly start, but rather, move in another direction and follow the landmark they build to give myself more room for improvement. You all have seen me growing slowly, doing the mission of the business. I can still remember the time I first heard it during our chapter’s assembly in August 2008, given by our chapter head. He keeps saying to us to manage our spare time, learn new things, save for ourselves, no matter how much is left in our salary. Not until I was in that same shoes two years later did I realize the reason why he keeps pushing us. The invitation given during the Kerygma Conference November 2009 was like an answered prayer for me. I wasted no time and attended the financial lectures. And in the following year, I became financially literate. Learning how money works, protecting yourself and your family, funding an emergency breakout, managing your debt, and putting in the right vehicle your long-term goals. But mind you, I started with a lot of discipline. My whole circle of friends would surely attest to that. It’s a lot of discipline, losing some good old friends, missing some old parties and events, giving up some old routine of personal habits and accepting the fact of differences with others. What’s wrong with saving and building your wealth and becoming rich? And sharing the concepts with others?
So let me get back to the exclamation point of training tonight. The Warrior’s leader echoed the message of convention held at Hong Kong January 29–30. And hearing them almost made me write five pages of notes back-to-back! Extravagant! Here’s the special message:
1. Life is a choice. Nobody pushes you to make a choice; it’s your own desire to secure your family and others.
Grain of salt: Surely nobody pushes us to jump into something without learning it. Before I exactly jumped into it, I did some research and read a lot of materials about it. But applying it is a different thing. Secure yourself first. Look for the opportunity to meet your goals. As for me, I am blessed that it’s the same teachings that were given to me. It was like I was handpicked by him to learn (you can never fathom how much more God can give you than what you prayed for).
